Answer:

$660.

Explanation:

Let the original price of the dryer = p

An 80% reduction on p will give:

[tex]p-(80\%\text{ of p)}[/tex]

The purchase price was $132.00, so we have:

[tex]p-(80\%\text{ of p)}=132[/tex]

Next, solve for p:

[tex]\begin{gathered} p-0.8p=132 \\ 0.2p=132 \\ p=\frac{132}{0.2} \\ p=\$660 \end{gathered}[/tex]

The original price of the dryer was $660.
